There's no way 173 whp is 216 @ fly, so first graph is BS. 2ng graph looks like came from Engine Dynamics, imo they're a touch generous but nothing overly so, and far less than a lot of places. The 191 is surely at the fly (does not say whp anywhere on it) and would seem about right.

Well I decided today to ring SCS, and some of the issues are a known problem when using an ECU with old firmware with newer software. They have sent me the latest firmware that should sort many of the weird problems that the mappers were coming up against on the day. This is the first problem...

No the 200 is all but done, I'm financially and emotionally spent with it now. Yeah if I bought a Nismo it would stay factory, no stripping etc - just some Ohlins R&T at most. If I bought a boggo Z then I guess stripping and modding could be a thing - though nothing engine related! I think a 1...

That your Nismo I take it! Yeah that looks mega, I could certainly see that comforting my 'loss'! The only reservation, almost too nice to track!

Ah the whole thing frankly. I don't know where to go from here tbh? The loom has a fundamental CAN issue and along with all the incorrect; sensors, wideband, dbw plug, fuel pump addition - it's not even close to the documented requirements! So need a refund on the loom as far as I'm concerned -...

Ha well as you can expect, it's more downs again. Wiring loom doesn't work, car playing silly buggers on the dyno and after 6 hours gave up. Inc trailer hire etc, yesterday cost me £530 and I literally could have put that straight in the bin. Car is no further along, the fancy wiring loom is a...

Items 1,2,3,4 on here, obv the 17" variants needed...

cheers! Feel like I've done quite a bit the last month or so - been lucky with the weather mostly and makes all the difference when you're mostly outside. Still a sign that I'm nearly done is the garage has been emptied of all the tools I've been using on and off, so can push the car back in...

@turkie172 Hi, do you know which relay is the fuel pump one? - I've tried looking online before but never found what the exact location is? Cheers

Car is basically done now, and I've booked mapping on the 29th! Wiring sorted in the corner, no longer are the plugs being pulled against a few wires that would have broken in time. Took a little while to pull the old covering off, un tangle and re-route a few things. But vastly improved to say...

Well the more I thought about it, I am not happy with the throttle pedal - relying on the just the springs on the butterfly's is just not anywhere near enough pressure when depressing or lifting off the pedal. Having run a Jenvey throttle linkage on my old ITB car, whilst I don't recall...

Yeah it's a nice finish the satin and matt clear - I think I may paint the datalogger cover with it one day! Heat shield done now, can't really tell from pics buts it very secure and good clearance everywhere. Proof will be in the driving, but I don't think it'll cause any vibration/noise -...

Only a little bit of progress this week. Make a bracket for the dip stick - ended up refurbing the dipstick holder too, few coats of satin and then a few coats of a matt clear. Also made a cover for the aircon delete, used some sealant around the plate when installed. - I don't believe you need...

I think Jesus just hates me! lol My bad luck is infectious, the bloody recovery truck with the Mini on it....broke down literally just round the corner after having had it loaded! Had to have a 2nd truck come and pick it up! And my hire car....a Renault Clio (mk4 of course!) :tearsofjoy: Had a...

Yep list is right down now, and in order of priority... Sort throttle pedal* Configure data logger/dash screens Build heat shield Make a bracket for the dip stick Carbon blank above datalogger Tidy wiring in corner of engine bay Drain fuel tank Mapping Get an MOT! Change sandwich plate -...

Quite possibly, but it's knowing which is going where of course. I've been over the plugs in the bay and certainly all 3 sensors are there and run into the main loom. There is then a DTM plug on the inside that the sensor channels feed to before heading to the AiM, and on the chassis side of...

Datalogger and GPS aerial installed this weekend: Forgot to take a pic of the bracket, but I'm very pleased with how it turned out and the finished mounting. I've done a shitty paint image showing the basic construction though! The EVO4S has 2 M4 threads on the bottom which the bracket is...

Honestly, I would quit before you're balls deep! You'll just be left with a car that's not especially fast, likely too loud for track, very expensive, and frustratingly bespoke you'll be forever plagued with headaches. I honestly regret every penny I've spent on it, but it's been a spiralling...

A bit longer than would have liked, however bare in mind a bunch of them were always outstanding things I needed to sort anyway. But I can tick a few off that list as into the ECU now, turns out you can just load a map over the top of a locked one - so I just flashed my backup over it. Also got...

@jasekid, that is interesting, and odd though! As my maps open fine in SXTune and don't require a password (hence the screen shot I was able to make!) - and obviously when I pulled them off the ECU a few years ago they didn't require a password. Will see what they say in a bit!
